Minimal movement = maximal speed.
With Assignee, you can create a full keyboard workflow using only home row keys.
Suggested Layout
- Ctrl + Tab, A → Slack
- Ctrl + Tab, S → Terminal
- Ctrl + Tab, D → VSCode
- Ctrl + Tab, F → Browser
- Ctrl + Tab, G → Notion
- Ctrl + Tab, H → Calendar
Your fingers never leave ASDFGH. It’s like Vim for your apps.
Bonus: Left- vs Right-Hand Layers
Assign communication tools to left hand, deep work tools to right.
Final Thought
Your muscle memory is faster than your mouse. Map Assignee to the home row, and your hands will do the thinking for you.
